[vtkusers] VTK Java implementation

[don.casteel]

VTK works fine with TCL and I've been using it for a while now.

But I'm having trouble implementing VTK in Java.



I have installed the latest windows version of VTK via the downloaded
windows binary executable vtk42-LatestRelease.exe



My path and Classpath environment variables are set up correctly.

I was getting a jawt.dll not found error, but have fixed that by
sourcing the library in the java class file.

The Cone.java example and my project file both compile without errors.



However...  when I try to run either class I get the following error

----------------------------------

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\My Java\My_3D\Flames3D>java Cone

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: VTKInit

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\My Java\My_3D\Flames3D>

----------------------------------



For some reason it's looking for classes in
c:/martink/vtk42/vtkdist/java/vtk

There is no such directory on my computer. As a last resort I suppose I
could create it and copy everything there, but that seems like a silly
waste of time.



The way I figure it it should be looking in C:\Program Files\vtk42\bin
that's where the vtk.jar, vtkParseJava.exe, vtkWrapJava.exe, and a pile
of dll's are at.



I do not know how, to use cmake or build the software, or what's telling
the system to look in the /martink/~ directory.

How do I fix the setup so I can start using vtk from within java?

Why does the windows installer setup for a path that does not exist?
Shouldn't this be fixed?
